Dive into Sheffield’s Industrial Heritage
#uktrip
A visit to Kelham Island Museum offers an engaging journey through Sheffield’s industrial past. Located on a man-made island, the museum celebrates the city’s rich history in steel production and industrial innovation. Exhibits like the working River Don Engine and displays of vintage tools, machinery, and vehicles provide a vivid picture of Sheffield’s role in the Industrial Revolution. The museum is interactive, offering hands-on activities that bring the past to life for visitors of all ages. Kelham Island itself has evolved into a vibrant neighborhood, with cafes and breweries nearby, making it a fantastic place for both history buffs and casual visitors alike to explore.

Ping Youping lives in Sheffield~Easy hotel Sheffield City Center
#100 Ways to Travel
Easy Hotel is a sister company of the famous low-cost airline Easy Jet. There are locations in the UK, Europe, and the Middle East. And most cities in the UK, including London, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Liverpool, Manchester, Birmingham, etc.....there are some like European versions of Air Asia and Tune hotel. Most importantly, the price is cheap, the regular price is expected to be less than HK$400. If you hit the big sale, half or 70% off, super cheap!
Among them, Sheffield city center is about 10 minutes walk from the train station, and most attractions are within walking distance.
Easy Hotel branded itself as a low-cost hotel, so there was nothing in the room except a bed and a small toilet and shower.
No toothbrushes and slippers (but two-in-one shower gel with shampoo and towels are provided), no tables and chairs, no kettle, no wifi. There is a TV to watch, a vending machine and a coffee machine in the lobby can be paid by the user. No gym no pool!
The cheapest rooms also have no windows but do have central air conditioning. There is an elevator and a front desk. Incidentally, though it’s a low-cost hotel. But I think the attitude of the counter staff is very good, and very safe (there is a door ban requires a card swipe to enter.

Nice
Nice is really my favourite place on the tour, staying by the sea you can watch the sunrise from your balcony in the morning and walk on the shingle beach in the evening. The neighbouring towns of Cannes and Perfume are easy to get to and each have their own character!And every town has a different beach, stone or sand, harbour or bay,I also got to experience paragliding, which was a real thrill!#beachlife #trip

UK Sheffield ~ Cutlery Works Super choice of food court
[Sheffield] ~ Cutlery Works
I went to a food court called "Cultery Works" in Sheffield some time ago. There are various restaurants, drink shops, bars and so on. The decor is very cute and there is plenty of seating. We tried the authentic tea drinks from ALS GongCha, the bubble milk tea and cheese milk cap were both delicious. They have a lot of teas to choose from on the menu! For food, we had authentic Malaysian cuisine ~ Sylok-Lah! We were amazed by the overall dining experience and the food was delicious!

Lodge Moor - WWII POW Camp
A friend and I made our way to Lodge Moor POW camp one spring. It’s not well marked or preserved in any way. However, in its hay day, it was the largest POW camp in Britain. We did some research and learned that it held about 10,000 prisoners at one point. Off all the historical places I’ve been to, I have to say, this one left the biggest impact. There was definitely a strange feeling on the site itself. Worth a visit if that history peaks your interest.

[Sheffield, UK] Sheffield's city centre shows what British architecture is all about.
The first photo is a view of Sheffield's downtown, which I especially cherish and love. England, with its good weather, is so beautiful.
I also recommend going up to Bolehills Park and watching the sunset. You can see the entire city of Sheffield at a glance. It's a great place to wrap up your day.

[Sheffield, UK] On a nice day, take a walk in the park and watch football at the pub⚽️
📍crooks valley park (2nd photo)
📍the ponderosa park (3rd photo) These two parks are just a short walk from the University of Sheffield. Maybe because it was warmer than expected that day, there were people swimming in the lake at ponderosa park. I like swimming, so I would have liked to have brought extra clothes😭
After walking hard, we arrived at 📍the cavendish pub just in time for soccer.
Here, I was greeted with my life beer, ‘Strongbow’..🍇

[Sheffield, UK] patisserie valerie: French desserts in England?
While walking down Sheffield Street
I went into this place because there were a lot of desserts on display that looked delicious.
After eating, I searched and found out that it was a famous afternoon tea franchise that can be found all over England. Since it was a place that sold French desserts, there were also macarons. If you come across it while traveling around England, I recommend you go in and get some takeout.🍩

#sheffieldtrip
Address: Cathedral House, Norfolk Street, Sheffield City Center, Sheffield S1 2JB, United Kingdom 🇬🇧
Cathedral Church of St Marie is the Roman Catholic cathedral in Sheffield, England. had a wonderful visit to St Marie's Cathedral in Sheffield. The atmosphere is stunning, and the atmosphere inside is peaceful and welcoming, making the experience even better. The stone paving in front of the cathedral adds a stunning touch to the place, and the grand interior with beautiful stained glass windows allows the most beautiful light to shine through. If you're in Sheffield and interested in history or architecture, Cathedral Church of St Marie is a must-visit.
